I have never fished the Truckee River...too intimidated by many tales of very smart fish and frequent skunkings!...I think its time to pop that cherry and give it a try. Planning to leave the East Bay 5:30am ish and fish till its dark or hypothermia sets in. Whichever comes first. Anyone want to com...

I have been reading conflicting reports on how good the steelhead fishing is on the Russian River, and when to go. Am I wasting my time going this week? I was going to start at the Wohler Bridge and work my way down. Any input from people who have fished the Russian, or have good knowledge on steelhead i...

Decided that before I went back to school I needed to get after some trout on a small Sierra fly-fishing trip. I left San Diego at 8:00 am heading to a small campground on the Owens river just outside of Bishop California. Stopped a few times on the road and ate lunch and generally took my time. I arrived to...

Just a heads up that the LT is going to be dropping to 15 cfs this week. They are doing their annual maintenance on the dam and need to lower the water. Trout Unlimited worked with the powers that be to do a gradual drop to give those fish a chance to move.

Well it has been fun fishing all over the mountains this summer!! Had the Tenkara Rod in the vest the whole time. I have found that it is the best way to fish dry flies. And if you are on a river with tons of fish it can make it just a bit more challenging. Caught some lahontans, browns and rainbows. Hit t...

So I was reading on Kiene's board that the Beardsley Afterbay has taken a big hit as far as fish are concerned. Anyone been out there this year with a different report? Apparently the fish were all eaten by a crazed pack of otters. Maybe it just fishes better in spring and fall?? Picked up an Orvis Acc...

Hi all, need some help. Looking for a place within a 2 hour drive of Davis, that will guarantee some fish. I have a friend that wants to bring some kids fishing tomorrow and ensure they have a good time. Stockers are okay! Preferably a stream where barbed hooks and bait fishing is okay, hence stockers. Cr...

Went bass fishing at Lake Casitas last month and got a few decent fish with guide Mark Mitrany. There were bait balls all over the lake, but no bass chasing them. There's a lot to learn here... Here's a nice video of a topwater bass on a white gurgler along with a pic: http://youtu.be/ssOlibuLSI0

Figured I'd post a report on a river I think you all know well. I fished it for a few days this past week. The flow looks good but the water is already to warm. The fishing was very poor. This is a trend that I noticed starting last summer. Two low water years has really hurt the wild fish population. Then to to...

One of my clients is a winery called Navarro Vineyards.

Had a fun day yesterday with my friend Link. Lot's of hookups and consistent action although there were no huge pods of fish. I would guess that we connected with close to 60 shad.

Just spent 3 days up there and I had just two golden stone attractors in my box, one to a tree branch day 2 but managed to hold on to the other the rest of the trip. It looks like a dogs chew toy!
